Cedar Run Events for July 2017

Mark the Calendar!

Cedar Run HOC Board meeting

July 12, 2017 7PM

These meetings take place 2nd Wednesday of every month at the Cedar Run clubhouse.  Homeowners are welcome and encouraged to attend.  Attending these meetings is the best way for homeowners to know what is happening with board business.  Every meeting will include a homeowner forum (usually after board business), which is a great time to ask questions or provide feedback for the board.

Cedar Run Community Garage Sale

July 21-23, 2017

All residents are welcome to participate.  A banner will be posted near the entrance off McHenry Rd the week before.  Event will also be publicized in Facebook.

Cedar Run Summer BBQ & Pool Party

July 28, 2017

Join your neighbors for a pool party, complete with a DJ spinning tunes.  Burgers & hot dogs will be provided, but residents are welcome and encouraged to "Tailgate" around the pool and clubhouse and share food with friends & neighbors.  This is a great opportunity for neighbors to get acquainted and have some fun!  Wheeling Police and Fire Department have been invited as well.

National Night Out

August 1, 2017

More details to be posted soon.  Cedar Run will be observing National Night Out.

Cedar Run HOC Election 5/10/2017

BE SURE TO CAST YOUR VOTE

The Cedar Run Homeowners Corporation (aka Master Board) will conduct its annual meeting (and election) on May 10th, 2017.  It is vitally important that as many homeowner participate as possible.

Reason #1: Without homeowner participation, it is less likely to see directors elected who meet the needs and preferences of the community.
Reason #2: If there aren't enough homeowners participating to constitute a quorum (approximately 82 homeowners, i.e. 20%), there can be no election.  The meeting will need to be rescheduled and repeated until a quorum is reached.

How many director seats are up for election/re-election?
Four of the twelve seats are up for election/re-election.  Four homeowners have nominated themselves to fill these positions, but there will likely be others who will nominate themselves from the floor of the actual meeting.

Why another election already?
The last Master Board election was held in August 2016 based on a court order.  It was a special election with the purpose of electing a board to take control of the association at the end of receivership.  The timing had more to do with certain legal milestones that had to be cleared.  Cedar Run HOC's bylaws still require an election of four directors each year in May despite the recent special election.  They will continue to occur in May each year.

I'd like to vote, but I cannot attend on May 10th.  How can I participate?
You can participate via proxy.  The proxy has two options. One option allows you to choose the nominated candidates for whom you'd like to cast your vote.  The second option is to delegate an individual to vote on your behalf at the meeting. If you are a faithful follower of this blog and would like to support candidates who support the core values mentioned in this blog, please email us at restoreCR@gmail.com.

Cedar Run Update 4/27/2017

Based on requests from Cedar Run homeowners, this blog post serves as a brief, UNOFFICIAL update of the HOC board's progress.

New Management
Beginning June 1st, 2017, all Cedar Run associations will be under the management of Associa Chicagoland.  Homeowners will still need to make two separate payments for HOC and Phase, and will have two different account numbers.  The HOC and phases will explore the options of reverting to a single assessment payment.  The earliest this could happen would be November 1st, 2017.

New Manager's on-site hours
The property manager that has been assigned to Cedar Run by Associa will maintain office hours at the Cedar Run clubhouse.  Currently, those hours are Monday and Wednesday from 3PM to 5PM and Friday from 12PM to 4PM.  The on-site staff will continue to maintain the same hours as they have in the past.

Cedar Run website and account access
www.cedarrunwheeling.com is now live and is gradually being updated with new information.  This is where you would go for official news and information on Cedar Run.  There, you can also click the "login" link and setup to view your payment history, make work order requests, and several other features.  You will need your account number to register.  For the time-being, you will need to setup a separate login for HOC and phase accounts.

Cedar Run/Associa Vehicle decals
Management staff and on-site staff will now be using magnetic decals while driving around the property to do their work.  This is a safety measure to help residents identify the vehicles, especially in cases where the vehicles drive slowly through the property.

Cedar Run HOC Annual Meeting
The HOC annual meeting will take place on May 10th, 2017.  Four board member positions will be filled.  Nominations are no longer being accepted, but interested candidates can nominate themselves from the floor at the meeting.  All homeowners are strongly encouraged to attend or participate via proxy.

Phase annual meetings are generally held in the month of May.  However, some phases may need to delay their meetings to June of July due to complications with the management transition as it relates to sending proper notice.

Cedar Run Update

Apologies to all who have followed this blog regularly and faithfully.  For multiple reasons, we have not been updating it as regularly as we once have.  Enough new information has come to light, and a much-overdue update is necessary.

Cedar Run HOC Management
On 12/14/2016, the board of directors for the Cedar Run Homoewoners' Corp. (aka Master Board) elected to choose Associa Chicagoland as its new management company, effective March 1st, 2017. Beginning on March 1st, they will take over all management responsibilities for the HOC.  All concerns previously handled by HHSG will then be the responsibility of Associa.

Cedar Run Phase Management
The phase association were a major consideration in the HOC's management search and selection of a management company.  Associa has provided proposals and contracts to all phase boards, and each of the eleven boards must decide whether to sign with them.  If your phase board decides to pursue this, they will need to conduct a meeting, which would be open to all homeowners in each respective phase.  Please be on the lookout for a mailed meeting announcement.

It is also understood that both the HOC and phase associations will receive a substantial discount on their management fees if they are all managed by Associa.  That said, it is still an individual choice that each board must make.  Nothing can be mandated by the HOC or any other party.

Summary of 2/8/17 Meeting
Representatives from Associa Chicagoland attended the HOC board meeting on 2/8.  They introduced themselves to the board and homeowners and spoke about the management transition process. The property manager that Associa has assigned to Cedar Run was present at this meeting, and she spoke to many homeowners.  She is bilingual (English-Spanish), and she spoke to owners in both languages.

Future Updates
While this blog may not be updated as regularly as before, there are other information sources that Cedar Run owners are encourage to use.

Cedar Reader
This is a concise , one-page newsletter produced by an HOC board member that is generally sent out monthly.  Topics usually include updates and announcements, a breakdown of how your assessment dollars are spent, and a friendly reminder of certain rules. You will often find it as an attachment to your monthly HOC statement.  Be sure to open the envelope with your monthly statement, and you may find the Cedar Reader, which will be printed in both English and Spanish.

Meeting Minutes
Any Cedar Run homeowner has the right to view meeting minutes from past board meeting.  These minutes are very concise, but contain all the pertinent information on any decision the board makes.  They are a quick, easy read, and probably the best way to be fully informed about HOC activity and rules.  Requests for the minutes can be made to management.  Given that we are now in a management transition, owners may consider waiting until after March 1st before requesting minutes.

Do also understand that the latest minutes you receive will be from the past month.  This is because the minutes must be approved by the board at the following board meeting.

Coming soon - Cedar Run Official Website
Part of the Associa management agreement includes the creation and management of an official Cedar Run HOC website.  This may take a few months before going online, but it will be a great resource for official announcements that are approved by the board. This blog has no official affiliation to the HOC or any other board.  The board may choose to make meeting minutes and other documents readily available for homeowners to view.

Also Coming Soon - Volo Village Alerting Service
Associa will be providing an alerting service that can push email announcements, robocalls, and text messages to Cedar Run owners for instant announcements.  This service will be especially useful in announcing emergencies or important information with short notice.  It will be up to the HOC board to decide what types of alerts or announcements will use this service.  Homeowner feedback will be welcome, and anyone can choose to opt out.

Board Likely to Decide on Management at 12/14 Meeting

The Cedar Run HOC board will reportedly try to make a final decision on management at their 12/14 board meeting.  There are five total candidates being considered, which include HHSG (who formerly served as receiver).

The names of the management companies under consideration will not be published on this blog, out of respect for the privacy of the candidates (this is a public website and could affect search engine results).   However, Cedar Run homeowners are welcome to email the blog team at restoreCR@gmail.com for a complete list of candidates.

All owners are encouraged to attend the 12/14 meeting.  Normal board business will be conducted at the meeting, followed by a homeowner session.  This session will be an opportunity for homeowners to provide final comments or feedback before the board debates its management options.  The board may decide to have these discussions/debates in a closed session, but the results will be announced immediately thereafter.

As always, feel free to email restoreCR@gmail.com or call (or text) the blog hotline at (224) 544-9058 with any questions or comments.

HOC Board to Interview Management Companies

Notice was sent to all Cedar Run unit owners, which included the date and times of four meetings with prospective management companies.

Tonight (Wed 11/16) will be the first of these four meetings.  All owners are welcome to attend and observe as the board members interview the management companies.  These interview meetings are the result of the efforts from the HOC board's management committee.  Reportedly, they have met with several management companies, and they have narrowed the search to these four finalists.  (HHSG is a fifth finalist, and they have already presented to the board)

The full schedule of meetings dates are as follows:

Wed 11/16 7PM
Thurs 11/17 7PM
Wed 11/30 7PM
Thurs 12/1 7PM

All meetings are at the Cedar Run clubhouse.

Meetings like this, in the presence of homeowners, are unprecedented in Cedar Run.  This is a level of transparency that most owners have never seen.  Contrast this to the three years of Sher/Shaw conducting any and all board business in private (which happens to be illegal).  Given this history, all homeowners are strongly encouraged to attend these meetings and provide feedback.

It is also widely believed that many of the Cedar Run phase association will consider hiring the company that is selected by the HOC board.  The impact of these interviews could be quite profound.

Cedar Run HOC Board Meeting Tomorrow

Cedar Run HOC Board Meeting

Wednesday 11/9/16 7PM

Cedar Run Clubhouse

Tomorrow is the 2nd Wednesday of the month, meaning that it's board meeting time!  Since receivership officially ended as of 11/1, this is technically the first board meeting with a fully empowered board.  As always, we encourage all homeowners to attend.

We can probably expect an update on parking and the search for management.

We have also received word that HHSG will give a brief presentation, immediately following all board business.  HHSG is currently under a short-term, interim management agreement with the board.  It is our understanding that they will be presenting the board with a proposal to manage the HOC for the long term.  Board members have indicated that HHSG is one of the management candidate that they are considering.

It is also our understanding that some of the limitations to HHSG's management ability within that last two years were due, in part, to the legal constraints of receivership.  Our experience with them may be somewhat different now that receivership has ended.  Perhaps this will be better explained during the presentation.

As always, you are fee to direct any questions to restoreCR@gmail.com, and we will pass it along to the appropriate party.

Cedar Run Receivership Ending on 11/1/16; HHSG Hired on Interim Management Agreement

It is Finally Ending!!

Cedar Run HOC was placed in receivership by the court in February of 2015 due to egregious and blatantly illegal activities by the Sher/Shaw group that was in control at the time.  This receivership order will expire at 11:59 PM on October 31, 2016, thus putting the elected board (voted in on August 4th) in full control of all HOC operations.

HHSG, the company that was assigned by the court to act as Receiver, will officially become Cedar Run HOC's management company and report directly to the board of directors.  They will no longer be an agent of the court as far as Cedar Run management operations are concerned.

Although the board has signed a management agreement with HHSG, the board is still considering  other management companies.  At the request of the board, HHSG agreed to a short term, interim contract with the Cedar Run HOC.  This contract has a "60-day Opt-out" clause, meaning that the board can terminated it within 60 days after giving written notice.  The purpose of this agreement was to give the board more time to make an informed choice on future management.

Things to note about Cedar Run HOC management:

• The board has formed a committee with the sole purpose of exploring management options and reporting back to the board members.
• As described by committee members at the 10/19 board meeting, the committee is also evaluating candidates' viability to manage Cedar Run's eleven Phase Associations.
• Per the board's decision at the 10/19 board meeting, the committee will select companies as finalists that will be interviewed by the board at open meetings (i.e. homeowners are welcome to attend).
• While HHSG is currently working under an interim agreement, they are also being considered as a candidate (potentially a finalist) for the long-term management of Cedar Run.

---

***Important Change to Payment Instructions***

By now, all Cedar Run unit owners should have received a statement from HHSG, which includes payment instructions.  Some important things to note:

• All owner account numbers have changed.
• While the payment address and general instructions have not changed, Unit owners will need to indicate their NEW ACCOUNT NUMBER (found on the statement) to ensure their payment posts properly.
• The balance on this latest statement may not be correct.
• It does not reflect any balance that owners may have had during receivership.
• Those balances will eventually carry over, but there may be some formalities with the court before that can happen.

Cedar Run Update: Next Master Board Meeting - 10/19

Cedar Run HOC October Board Meeting

Wednesday 10/19/16 7PM

Cedar Run Clubhouse

 
The main agenda item for the meeting will be the official adoption of the FY 2017 budget.

• You'll notice that this meeting is one week later than normal (third Wednesday rather than second Wednesday).
• This was done to allow sufficient notice to all homeowners regarding the budget.
• By law, homeowners must receive a copy of the proposed budget at least 30 days before its adoption.
• There will be NO INCREASE to the HOC monthly assessment fee for FY 2017. It will remain at $125/mo.

---

Parking Program

In other News, parking registration has begun for those who wish to lease (or renew) a reserved parking space.

• All owners applying for or renewing their leased parking space must bring proof of their vehicle registrations to the clubhouse.
• All registrations must be current, and all vehicles must be registered to the owner's Cedar Run address in order to be eligible.
• You must have at least three vehicles with current registrations to be eligible for a street space.
• The cost ($120) and rules are mostly unchanged from this last year with one additional compliance requirement:
• Anyone applying for or renewing a space must also make an appointment to have an HOC employee inspect their garage interior to ensure that it can fit a vehicle.  Photos will be taken and kept on file to document compliance.
• This inspection requirement is intended to ensure compliance to the existing rule - which states that all owners must first use their garage and driveway space before being granted street parking space.
• The use of Cedar Run Garages for storage, living space and purposes other than storing a vehicle seems to be quite widespread.

Homeowner Participation

Last, (but definitely not least), please do attend the board meeting and bring all of your questions, comments, and concerns.  There will be a homeowners' session after board business is finished, and homeowners will have a chance to speak.  As always, if you are unable to make the meeting and you would like something addressed, please email us at restoreCR@gmail.com.

Next HOC Board Meeting 9/14/2016

Cedar Run HOC Board Meeting

Wednesday, September 14th, 2016 7:00 PM

Cedar Run Clubhouse

We encourage all homeowners to attend the upcoming board meeting. The central topic of the meeting will be the FY 2017 budget (which begins on November 1st).  The budget will determine the dues assessed to each owner and also determine how homeowner money will be spent or allocated.  The best way to be "in the know" is to attend the meeting in person.

If you are unable to attend the meeting, but have a question you'd like addressed, please email restoreCR@gmail.com, and we will do our best to get your question answered.

Statement from Candidate Rob Schulman

The following statement was written by Robert (Rob) Schulman, candidate for the 8/4 election, who recently co-wrote and sent a postcard to all Cedar Run homeowners.

Any admin comments added below will be in BLUE.

---

Dear Homeowners,

Thank you for taking the time to read my statement, and thank you  to the blog crew for allowing me to post it here.

It has been nearly FOUR YEARS since Cedar Run had its last Master Board election!  But we are finally rounding the corner to August 4th, when we can vote in a new board that will make important decisions about the future of our community.

We've spent about 18 months in receivership and had a majority of our funds depleted as a direct result of irresponsible, impulsive, self-serving decisions and the legal ramifications of those decisions.  These decisions were made by Robert Sher and Jack Shaw, and ratified by a board of directors who were fooled into thinking they were doing good or were bullied into submission.

I could ramble on for days about all that was done under Sher and Shaw, but here are just a few highlights:

• ILLEGAL & improper collection of phase assessments that resulted in unprecedented delinquency rates and a collection crisis that got several homeowners evicted.
• Creation of ILLEGAL bylaws that benefited Sher & Shaw and a few others, while giving a raw deal to Cedar Run homeowners. [Admin comment:  These Bylaws can be viewed by clicking HERE]
• Signing of an ILLEGAL contract, that guaranteed Sher and Shaw would stay on the payroll for 8 YEARS!!  [Admin comment:  This contract can be viewed by clicking HERE]
• About a dozen lawsuits (including the one that landed us in receivership) that have cost well over a quarter million dollars of homeowner money thus far to settle.
• All the IRS problems, payola & graft, accounting blunders, and outrageous incompetence outlined in the 30 page accounting report. [Admin comment:  The FR&R report can be viewed by clicking HERE]
• Multiple newsletters, clubhouse presentations, and other propaganda that slandered ME and anyone else who would dare to criticize or question Sher, Shaw, or the board's actions.
• To top it off, WE PAID THESE CLOWNS about $170 grand for their services!! [Admin comment: "these clowns" were paid $168,920.55 to be exact]

MOVING FORWARD
Now that we have an election, it is vitally important that we learn from the past and make Cedar Run the best it possibly can be.

I stand with my fellow candidates (who also contributed to the cost of the postcards), Jan Kurtz and Jim Hartmann.  I also stand with ANY of the other candidates (be they nominated or write-in) who share my vision to Restore Cedar Run and believe in the following ideas:

1. Cedar Run must be professionally managed by a qualified company that will provide the service we deserve and a good value.  Homeowner input and feedback is vital in making this happen.
2. The board must strictly follow the law and not ignore the law when it is convenient or cheaper to do so (which was commonplace in the Sher/Shaw group).
3. The board needs to be transparent, allowing homeowners to witness and participate in all board meetings.
4. Cedar Run needs to be clean, orderly, and have clearly established (and enforced) rules, including those that cover rental of units, parking, noise, etc.
5. An ALL VOLUNTEER board, where no directors are paid.

That said, I condemn ANY candidate whose agenda is to defend the above actions taken under the Sher/Shaw regime and who plans to revert back to them.  MOST KNOW OF WHOM I SPEAK!

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP
You can help ensure that a responsible board is elected by printing, filling out, signing, and returning a proxy that I will use to ensure we end up with a responsible board that will MOVE US FORWARD and make sound decisions, with NO OTHER AGENDA and NO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

I hope I can count on your support and your vote to help make Cedar Run better than ever!!

Thanks for reading,

Rob

Nine Days until Cedar Run Election - Candidate Bios Available.

The Election is right around the corner.  Once again, homeowners should have received the following items in the mail.

1. A list of nominated candidates
2. A set of rules describing how the election will be conducted
3. A Proxy with two options
4. A Letter entitles "Overview of Litigation"

In our last blog post, we focused on the  "Overview of Litigation".  If you haven't already, please scroll down the page and read that blog from 7/20/16.

Our focus this time is on the list of nominated candidates.  No, we won't be going through each name on the list.  We'll let each of them speak for themselves.

What was not included in the mailing was the nomination and qualification info that each candidate submitted.  This information is currently available to view or pick up at the Cedar Run Clubhouse, but we've obtain copies of them for your convenience.

You can view these forms by clicking HERE.

Do also note that additional candidates may participate as write-in candidates.  There will need to be at least one write-in candidate because there are currently 11 nominated candidates for 12 positions on the board.  Write-ins will need to be nominated from the floor on the day of the election, and they will make their statements verbally to the homeowners.

Lastly, we encourage all candidates, whether write-in or nominated, to send us any statements that they'd like to have posted on this blog.  Email us at restoreCR@gmail.com

Please check back regularly for more election info.

Two Weeks Until Cedar Run Election

By now, all  Cedar Run homeowners should have received a mailing that included the following:

1. A list of nominated candidates
2. A set of rules describing how the election will be conducted
3. A Proxy with two options
4. A Letter entitles "Overview of Litigation"

Our focus for today's blog post is item #4, Overview of Litigation.

WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL OWNERS TO READ THIS OVERVIEW OF LITIGATION!

A copy of this letter can be found HERE.

The Overview of Litigation was approved by the court and ordered to be disseminated to all owners.  The issuing of this letter is a very important, necessary step to ensure that all owners understand the legal issues that have plagued Cedar Run over the past four years.  It is critical that all Cedar Run owners can make their decision on August 4th as INFORMED VOTERS.

While there is much detail left out of this letter, it  does provide a concise, factually correct summary of what has happened in Cedar Run, why we are in receivership, and why we are having this election.

Whether you are a long-time owner or a recent buyer, we strongly encourage you to read this Overview of Litigation.

Some items to note within the letter:

The Sher/Shaw group adopted a set of By-Laws in 2012 without notifying or getting approval from homeowners.  These bylaws conflicted with Illinois law and were determined, by the court, to be void.  A copy of these By-Laws (Which we've often appropriately referred to as "The Bogus By-Laws") can be found HERE.

An Exclusive Consulting Agreement was signed in 2012 between the HOC ("Party #1") and Robert Sher & Jack Shaw ("Party #2").  This agreement, even more so than the Bogus Bylaws, essentially guaranteed employment and pay for Robert & Jack for EIGHT YEARS.  It's worth noting that the only signature on the agreement for "Party #1" was Barbara Shaw....The wife and daughter of both members of "Party #2", respectively.  A copy of this agreement can be found HERE.

Robert Sher and Jack Shaw received a total of $168,920.55 for serving on the oversight committee. This figure came directly from a court-approved report by the accounting firm Frost, Ruttenberg & Rothblatt (FR&R).  A copy of the text of the report can be found HERE.

Within the FR&R report, you'll find information that is even more appalling regarding how the Sher/Shaw group handled Cedar Run's finances, taxes, collections, employees, relationships with contractors.  You'll also see that over $218K went to their family's law firm, Shaw Legal Services, and the over $43K paid out to settle judgements that were filed against them by vendors.

The numbers DO NOT LIE, and this was all funded with OUR MONEY!

Please stay tuned for more updates, as well as some statements from actual candidates who are running for positions on the Cedar Run HOC board.

In the meantime....
We'd love to hear from you!

Cedar Run HOC Election Scheduled for August 4th, 2016

By now, Cedar Run homeowners should have received a notice from the receiver about the election.  This notice should have included a self-nomination form for those who wish to run for a position on the new board.  (We will post a scanned copy of this nomination form on the blog shortly)

We encourage all who want to take part in deciding Cedar Run's future to fill out this form and turn it into the clubhouse before 6/29/16.  We also welcome you to email us at restoreCR@gmail.com if you'd like us to consider posting your information (i.e. bio, qualifications or any statements you'd like to make) on this blog.  If you are unable or undecided by the 6/29 deadline, don't let that deter you from running.  You can still do so as a write-in candidate, and write-in candidates often win elections in community associations like ours.

It has been FOUR YEARS since the last election for this board.  Let's all participate in the process and select the best candidates to move Cedar Run forward!

More information will be posted in the next few days, so please stay tuned.

Update from the Receiver

The following update was emailed to us by the receiver:

---

1. Paving repairs are going thru the permit process with the Village of Wheeling (3-4 week process)
2. Pool passes are required each year since we have to confirm the unit owner is paid in full to the HOC
3. Trees are being removed due to disease, dead trees can and will be a hazard during storms.
4. I’ve chosen to hold off on the sign so the new board can choose the design.
5. Elections should be in July or August, this is a process that requires specific approvals and timing.

Finally please enjoy the beautiful property that you own.  The pool, parks and ponds are beautiful. The clubhouse is available for parties, the landscaping is very nice and the grounds are clean.  Negative comments at this stage indicate a lack of desire to move forward. The HOC is better today than it was and it will continue to improve.

Please email HSD@hhsg.net if you have any questions or concerns.
